lanrexlan: I think it's lack of proper understanding of Islam by your friends.Allah says in the glorious Quran in Surah Al-Imran 3:103- And hold fast,all of you together,to the Rope of Allah,and be not divided among yourselves....Your friends are trying to discriminate hausas from yorubas by saying hausa mosque or yoruba mosque and Islam frowns against this.The best of men is the one with piety,self-control[Surah Al-Hujurat 49:13].So we are one and there's nothing like hausa mosque or yoruba mosque.If they are offering solat in the way it should be,then no discrimination should take place.
It is narrated by Abu Dar that Muhammad, upon whom be peace,said:‘Wherever the time for prayer comes upon you,perform the prayer,for all the Earth is a place of worshipping for you[Hadith].Wherever you may be,when the time of prayer comes upon you,you perform the prayer irrespective of the mosque.

Sissie: In the north the khutbah (sermon) done in many mosque is in hausa language, so your friends may not want to go to the mosque because of that.

And depending on the majority of people in the area, some mosque are called hausa mosque because that's the tribe of the majority.

tpia@:
I don't think Islam really mandates people should not pray within their own groups and social systems per se, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The major place where everybody- irrespective of tribe, colour, nationality, ethnicity, etc -is supposed to pray and socialize together is when you go on hajj, not so?

maclatunji: Responses to his questions are welcome.

Personally, I believe there is a lack of proper understanding of Islam with your friends.

WHξξ∟s:
They will follow him to church but they have problem attending a Hausa mosque[whatever that is].. SMH

BetaThings:

It is wrong for Muslims to segregate on account of tribe. If they were to leave mixing together till Hajj, they will find it even difficult to integrate as Muslims during hajj because it will be very strange
If people of the same religion don't mix, how can they intermarry and strengthen the bond of Islam which we are enjoy to hold onto very firmly

Like Sissie said, language barrier is an issue. It determines where people pray on Fridays because of the sermon. Aside that, one can pray anywhere because they don't usually give sermons at other times and where they do, those sermons are not compulsory.

It is always better to pray where the rules of Salat (eg reciting the Qur'an clearly with strict regard for recitation rules and not rushing the entire process) are observed

Nowenuse: Well, I think d main reason 4dat is dat hausa and yoruba muslims really dnt believe and practice same thing

Nowenuse: Well, I think d main reason 4dat is dat hausa and yoruba muslims really dnt believe and practice same thing. Hausa muslims seem to be more fanatic and extremists in their religous ideas and that is the main reason they always have religous problems with the christians in their region unlike the yoruba muslims who have always lived in peace with their christian brothers.
Language difference is really not the issue here, you can neva hear sth like Igbo church or Ijaw church. Whether ppl of a particular ethnicity dominate in a church is not really d problem of christians as long as the language used there is english or a general language understood by all, ppl of difrent ethnicities r bound to converge. The difrences in christianity r just denominational with no tribal intonation at all.
Why is there also hausa sallah and yoruba sallah if I may ask? Many of us have been used seeing the hausas celebrate their own sallah 2day and d yoruba muslims wuld do theirs the next day.
Sorry 2say this, I also feel the hausas see the yoruba muslims as fake muslims.

Sissie:

I am in the north, are you? Is he?

lanrexlan: Adequate answers were given to you but you failed to deduce.But you can deduce your answer from someone that says ''Hausa muslims consider yoruba muslims to be fake''.A statement that lacks proofs.SMH
It's like your mind is already made up,you just asked the question for fun.

woky: bt do you knw that the Shi'a and some Ostas dnt pray in all mosque??

woky: yes.. Whc part of north ar u?
